The G7 has condemned Venezuela for naval threats against Guyana, deeming them a violation of Guyana’s rights. They called for an end to Venezuela’s aggressive actions, especially regarding the disputed Essequibo region. The G7 also denounced Venezuela’s political repression and reaffirmed their support for democracy in the region, while the International Court of Justice continues to address the border dispute.
The G7 nations have strongly condemned Venezuela for its continued naval incursions into Guyana’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). They described these actions as “unacceptable” and a violation of Guyana’s internationally recognized sovereign rights. This statement was made following a meeting in Quebec, where foreign ministers from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the European Union expressed their unwavering support for Guyana.
The G7’s unified stance emphasizes the importance of international law and respect for sovereignty. As tensions rise between Venezuela and Guyana, the role of the International Court of Justice becomes increasingly crucial in resolving the long-standing territorial dispute over Essequibo. Continued pressure from the G7 may influence Venezuela’s future actions and support Guyana’s claims.
